For our first Food Friday post, here's a healthy bowl of strawberry chia pudding with almonds and banana.

I've been seeing and reading a lot of raves about this superfood for a couple of years but it's just recently that I finally got to try it. Chia seeds are packed with a hefty nutritional punch as they are rich in good fibre and healthy fats.

It can be eaten plain and raw or mixed with a bunch of dishes, but I love mixing it with yogurt and milk and letting it sit overnight, then adding some almonds and bananas come morning. More than just a superfood, it makes for a good morning perk-me-up!
